Care Management Program
What is care management?
Care Management helps you take charge of your health. The goal is to make sure you get the right care at the right time in the right place. As a result, you could see improved health at a lower cost.
What is the care manager’s role?
A care manager is a nurse or social worker who coordinates your care. That person helps you do the following:
• Gain a better grasp of the healthcare system
• Find the resources you need
• Get the best care by serving as a link with your providers
How does this program work?
A care manager will contact you to discuss your health needs and goals. That person then develops a care plan to share with you and your provider. Once this plan is in place, the care manager will follow up with you regularly. That person may be at your provider visits or call to see how you are doing.
